Family names are super important to some people to pass down to their children. A family name represents heritage while also honoring your loved ones, but is it worth torturing your living family for the sake of the rights to a name? One man recently just found out how far his sibling was willing to go just so that they could make a grab for the family name, throwing his family's agony back in his face.

It's common sense that if you (or your dependents) lose or break something that isn't yours, you should pay out of pocket to replace it, especially when that something is a $30,000 piece of jewelry that was stored out of reach in a place where your little goblins shouldn't have been in the first place. I wouldn't blame anyone related to this incident if they refused to let this parent and their children into their homes ever again. The Redditor, u/throwaway1846189, shared this story to Reddit's…

Weddings have an eloquent way of stirring up family drama and ruining bloodline relationships for the rest of your lives. Ironically, though marriages are supposed to bring people together, they somehow make everyone feral Bridezillas of epic proportions. That's why people elope.

There's a reason that people wear stupid masks to cover their identity when they accept lottery winnings on public broadcast. It's simple– they don't want their family knowing that they're overnight billionaires. For some reason, people think that they're entitled to a portion of any family member's financial success just because you're related.

Here's further proof that money certainly doesn't bring families together!

What do you do when your twin brother steals the name you planned to give to your future daughter? Especially when you promised your dying friend to honor her by doing so. Reddit unexpectedly sided with the twin brother and his GF's decision to name their child “Amelia" which this Redditor, u/AITAbabynames, planned to give their future daughter. The name had been that of a childhood friend of u/AITAbabynames who had passed away from cancer at the age of 12. u/AITAbabynames swore they would name…

Does your family ever show up to your house uninvited? And if so, what's the latest time they've ever shown up to your front door? This person wrote to r/AmItheA****** to ask about a tricky situation involving her husband's brother and family. Since they live two hours from each other, they don't see each other all the time. As the OP wrote on a throwaway account , the brother's family was in town for a celebration . That night the BIL, his wife, and their toddler showed up at the OP's house at…

Hobbies take many shapes and sizes, from cooking to knitting to painting. This guy's hobby is collecting and building Lego kits, but unfortunately his family doesn't see his passion as a real hobby at all. In a post to r/AmItheA******, u/swlego_fan wrote about an incident that happened when he asked his sister, her husband, and their kid to keep an eye on his two dogs while traveling. The OP said he directed his nephew to a big box of Lego pieces for him to build and play with. The only thing t…

For some people, high school never ends. That's definitely the case with Geoffrey, whose sibling is concerned about the way he's been treating everybody around him . As the u/aitaGeoffreyEmma wrote to the r/AmItheA****** subreddit, their brother didn't have a great experience in high school. Even a decade later, he's still making fun of people's appearances and projecting where he thinks they'll be in their career. It sounds toxic and unbearably cringy to witness ! This concerned sibling ended…

"Your own story makes me think you'd be a risk," one commenter told this entitled job-seeker . Sometimes Reddit posters on r/AmItheA****** don't give the whole story in their post, because this person has some serious issues with workplace behavior that she just brushes off. In this post, u/boasoas is asking if she's in the wrong for a situation that arose after she lost her job. Job loss is horrific, but you have to be strategic about your next moves. For this OP, she badgered her boyfriend's…

Brotherhood is a sacred relationship. Typically, that sort of bond can't be broken, nor would anyone risk damaging their brotherly relationship because of pettiness, mean insults, or least of all, because of a girl. Well, one man proved that brotherhood is not as sacred to some, because he pretty much threw his own biological brother under the bus , effectively ending his relationship with his long-time girlfriend, publicly shaming his drug rehabilitation, and driving a very large wedge between…

When your adoption plays out like a Team Rocket attempt to capture Ash's Pikachu — you might need to go home and rethink your life. Now, I'm not knocking those who would seek to adopt children; largely, these people are doing one of the greatest goods you could imagine — however, privately approaching, no — stalking — a desperate young woman on Facebook and convincing her that her only option is to give her unborn baby to you is nefarious , in a mustache-twirling, cat-stroking, monocle-adjustin…

They're only kind to you when they need something...
